And receive even more chatter in my mailbox? No, thanks! I would rather prefer
that people more frequently ask themselves the question: "Are people really
waiting for this?".

Please, people, don't send messages with no other content than "I agree" or
"Oops. Made a typo in my last message. It must be 'have to' instead of 'have
two'". And do understand that this is a mailing list, not a chatbox.

I would also help if more people followed Ray Brown's example: reply to several
messages about the same topic in one post. That can save lots of bandwidth too.
